CUTE CAT THEMED COFFEE SHOP!…read more There are 2 Battle Cat Coffee shops in AVL, however they are not exactly the same! I used to frequent this location a lot, and just recently re-visited after a long break. They have a great selection of pastries daily, and a yummy specialty drink menu that changes with the season. I quite like the coffee here, and it is definitely in my top 5 of AVL! There is a decent amount of seating, including bar type seating right by the baristas. Great place to study or get some work done. Baristas are always friendly to me! There is a small parking lot attached to the business, but I've never been unable to snag a spot. The only negative is that the bagels are DIY at a toaster... I don't come to a coffee shop to make my own bagel!!! After being handed a untoasted bagel with a container of butter and a plastic knife, I had to babysit my bagel at the toaster because I wasn't sure how long and at what setting to toast it at, since it isn't my toaster that I am used to. I'll stick to ordering pastries instead of bagels.

The BEST bakery I have been to in a very long time. We started out sharing a ham and cheese croissant. The ham and cheese was baked into the croissant. Light, flaky, and very delicious. I am surprised my husband let me have more than one bite. We ordered the quiche of the day and the one available every day. The ham and cheese was the quiche of the day. It was light, creamy, and very rich. The other quiche had spinach, feta, and tomatoes. It was equally delicious. Go and check them out. You will not be sorry. Go now.

The flavors harmonized well. It's an elevated Sammy. While a little over priced at $24, we wouldn't avoided reorder it at $17-18. The burger was delicious and well made. The fries were cooked well and seasoned well. Otherwise not unique or special. At $18 we would have expected another side or a fry with a twist. The harvest salad was tasty but unfortunately the lettuce was wilted and had poor texture. We sent it back. The staff happily replaced it with another meal. We are split on whether we would go back.
